Find the values of x and y that make these triangles congruent by the HL Theorem.

RideAnS [48]3 years ago

According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:

x=y+1 ...(1)

2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)

By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,

2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3

2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.

2y + 5 = 3y + 3

2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.

2y = 3y - 2

2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.

-y = -2

So, y=2

Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,

x= 2+1

=3

So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.

So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.

A cylinder has diameter of 4ft and a height of 9ft. Explain whether halving the diameter has the same effect on the surface area
elena55 [62]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of cylinder is given by the formula:

SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h

Where

r is radius ( diameter is 4, so radius is 4/2 = 2)

h is height ( h = 9)

Lets find original surface are:

SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (2)^2 + 2\pi (2) (9)\\SA=8\pi +36\pi\\SA=44\pi

<u>Halving diameter:</u>

diameter would be 4/2 = 2, so radius would be 2/2 = 1

So, SA would be:

SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (1)^2 + 2\pi (1) (9)\\SA=2\pi +18\pi\\SA=20\pi

<u>Halving height:</u>

Height is 9, halving would make it 9/2 = 4.5

Now, calculating new SA:

SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (2)^2 + 2\pi (2) (4.5)\\SA=8\pi + 18\pi\\SA= 26\pi

Original SA is 44\pi,

Halving diameter makes it 20\pi

Halving height makes it 26\pi

So, halving diameter does not have same effect as halving height.

Deanna gets 3 problems incorrect on her math quiz and scores 85%. How many questions were on the quiz?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There were 20 questions on the quiz

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with knowing the number of questions on a quiz, given that Deana had a certain percentage after scoring an amount of marks.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of questions on the quiz be X.

Now, she got 85% by making 3 incorrect choices. This means the percentage of questions she got incorrectly would be 100-85 = 15%

what we are saying is that it is just 15% of her questions that were wrong.

This mathematically;

15% of x = 3

15/100 * x = 3

15x = 3 * 100

15x = 300

x = 300/15

x = 20
